MATLAB: Is MATLAB forward compatible

MATLAB

I would like to know if the code that I developed in MATLAB 7.5 (R2007b) will work in MATLAB 7.4 (R2007a) or not?

Best Answer

MathWorks does not support forward compatibility. It is expected that most part of the code should work, but due to addition and changes in various features in newer releases it may not work in older releases.

This is expected behavior. MEX-files are generally backward compatible but not forward compatible.

A MEX-file created in a given version of MATLAB generally works in subsequent versions. However, MEX-files created in any version of MATLAB are not expected to run in an older version. In some releases, you may find this will work; however, MEX-files compiled with MATLAB 7.3 (R2006b) do not work in previous versions due to a restructuring of the MEX API.

MATLAB: Is mlappinstall backward compatible

1) The app is not backward compatible. However, it's a glorified *.zip file that can be renamed and have the MATLAB files extracted.

2) Apps are completely self contained. When you build an app, it will do the dependency analysis for you, grab all necessary files, and store it. It also takes care of all the path issues making it easy to distribute etc. On top of both of these benefits, you can have version labelling, descriptions, icons, images etc with them..
